Global UV-Vis Spectrometer Market Growth 2025-2031

Global UV-Vis Spectrometer Market Growth 2025-2031

The global UV-Vis Spectrometer market size is predicted to grow from US$ 733 million in 2025 to US$ 948 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2025 to 2031.

Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy or ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis or UV/Vis) refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflectance spectroscopy in the ultraviolet-visible spectral region. This means it uses light in the visible and adjacent (near-UV and near-infrared [NIR]) ranges. The absorption or reflectance in the visible range directly affects the perceived color of the chemicals involved. In this region of the electromagnetic spectrum, atoms and molecules undergo electronic transitions. Absorption spectroscopy is complementary to fluorescence spectroscopy, in that fluorescence deals with transitions from the excited state to the ground state, while absorption measures transitions from the ground state to the excited state.

Drivers of the UV-Vis Spectrometer Market:

Growing Demand in Life Sciences: UV-Vis spectrometers are widely used in drug discovery, quality control, and analytical testing. The expanding Life Sciences, driven by increased R&D and the demand for new therapies, are boosting the market for these instruments.
